Al Fars 17 Jadid is a bold Arabic font designed and published by Syed Irtiza Hassan Rizvi in January 2016. The font perfectly reimagines the classic Naskh script with a modern edge. This font balances tradition and modernity, offering simplified letterforms and balanced spacing for enhanced legibility. Its bold strokes and subtle geometric elements inject a striking visual appeal, offering a fresh take on traditional Arabic calligraphy. Especially, the font’s thick strokes and sharp angles command attention, making it ideal for headlines, logos, and titles where a strong visual presence is essential. However, with its single font-weight, it does not offer much flexibility. Therefore limiting its usage to short bursts of texts that need immediate attention.
With minimal serifs adding a touch of formality, Al Fars 17 Jadid strikes a perfect balance between elegance and modernity. Offering a character set of 219 characters and 334 glyphs, it works seamlessly with several platforms to satiate the ever-changing design needs of designers. Moreover, it supports Arabic, Urdu, and Latin scripts, along with various other languages, facilitating bilingual content creation. Additionally, its extensive Unicode block support ensures compatibility with various languages and symbols, making it a versatile choice for designers seeking impactful and visually appealing text solutions across diverse projects.
